BASS MODULE PLACEMENT

RECOMMENDATIONS

For best performance, follow these recommendations when placing the bass module:

Do NOT place any objects on top of the bass module.

To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft.

(0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the bass module. Place the bass module outside

and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video components and direct

heat sources.

Place the bass module on a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the bass

module to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly

polished wood.

Place the bass module along the same wall as your TV, or along any other wall in

the front third of the room.

Keep the back side of the bass module (the side opposite the Bose logo) at least

3 in. (7.6 cm) from any other surface. Blocking the port on the bottom of this side

may aect acoustic performance.

For more bass, place the bass module closer to walls and corners. For less bass,

place the bass module further from walls and corners.

Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.

CAUTION: Do NOT place the bass module on its top or sides when in use.
